Feeling sad or down occasionally is a normal response to stressful or upsetting events. However, when sadness persists for weeks or months and begins to interfere with daily life, it may indicate clinical depression. Depression affects everyone differently, with symptoms ranging from hopelessness and tearfulness to physical signs such as fatigue, pain, or headaches.
Professional psychotherapy can help individuals understand the root causes of their low mood, examine unhelpful thought patterns, and develop strategies for emotional regulation. In some cases, therapy may be complemented by medication, and I can refer you to a psychiatrist if needed.
Symptoms Addressed in Depression Therapy
- Persistent low mood or sadness
- Suicidal thoughts or feelings
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Sleep disturbances or insomnia
- Loss of interest or motivation
- Grief or significant life changes
- Redundancy or job loss
- Postnatal depression (PND)
- Social withdrawal or isolation
How Psychotherapy Helps
Depression therapy is personalized and goal-oriented, focusing on:
- Identifying the root causes of hopelessness
- Exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors contributing to low mood
- Developing practical coping strategies for daily life
- Supporting overall emotional resilience and well-being
Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to understand your emotions, challenge negative thinking patterns, and gradually rebuild hope and motivation.
